Actionable Playbook
Sellers: The $300K–$500K band is the highest-volume corridor with 230 active listings competing for buyers — price sharply and differentiate on condition. Townhouses are the fastest-moving property type at 52.7 average Days on the Market, so townhouse sellers who price correctly can expect quick action. List price achievement across the county is 96.2%, meaning well-priced homes are closing near ask.
Buyers: Condominiums are offering the most negotiating room at 109.8 average Days on the Market and a median close price of $600,000 — buyers in this segment have time and leverage. Englewood recorded the slowest pace at 128.3 average Days on the Market, with motivated sellers likely open to below-ask offers.
